I plan to replace the current Kindle (7 generation), had very lacking internal illumination, tried a lot of options with covers and portable lamps
I am reading, mainly in dark conditions

I take the book to 5+ years, so I do not want to make the wrong choice
I stopped on the following embodiments:
Onyx boox Darwin 5
Onyx boox Darwin 6
PocketBook 632
PocketBook 740

I studied the specifications and reviews looked, theory know
maybe someone used them and can give valuable advice?
interest: usability, quality lighting, build quality, battery

thank!

Kindle Paperwhite same.

I did not consider the following criteria:
She has no paging buttons.
In just a few years, "tired" to convert books to MOBI.

But this can be overcome if it is a good adjustable backlighting. This is true?

I remember Poketbukov and onyx button, so tremble.
Books can be taken directly into the MOBI and read without conversion.
The backlight is not perfect, but it is quite normal. Fault can be uneven due to the small number of LEDs.

Kindle voyage. He's got a button. But only restored or b / y, since removed from production. Backlight better than any KPW.

Here for 130 $even new lying around

thanks for answers!


an interesting option, but there are no petals, weak battery, questions to a software and buy it difficult
there is the risk of becoming the proud owner of an exclusive copy of a soft / hard problems without the ability to quickly send back


I have a parallel PocketBook Basic 611, buttons really there is not much. But this is the base model.
In addition to the lack of support Kindle formats, there is no possibility of working with folders. There is a workaround to the collection, but it is not quite easy.

What is it?
Buy Onyx and understand why Kindle and Kobo you advised.
I used Onyx and more nehochu ...

thanks for the information
I am a supporter of buying new, I would like to avoid the associated risks

Thanks for the answer.

For me the critical:
Conversion, no nested folder structure as a broad framework.
I thought he had appeared Kindle competitors, and conditioned domestic / other manufacturer is ready to support, if the product is really good.

Includes Kindle Paperwhite 2018 list and think further. Voyage for all its advantages is not ready to take out of the warehouse rests.

Conditioned home there. PB though belongs mostly of businessmen from Russia, still it remains a European company with okolokitayskim quality Onyx all 100% terry China.

in other words, I wanted to try another brand

These models are completely new. Nothing to do with old versions of Darwin, besides the appearance they do not have: a different screen, the other mat. board, even changed the design of buttons. Complaints on these devices virtually none.
In addition, in any case, you get a full local warranty and support.

Advantages of these devices are important and understandable.
Do they have any disadvantages? What have few complaints?

Favor of restoring kindle voyage (officially restored). Before that was a new one.
So there is no difference that the new that ref. Absolutely.

There were complaints about the hang-up. But as they were, in fact, only a few pieces, it is unlikely due to the firmware. The reason may be third-party software, for example. In addition, often "hang" accept broken screen. We find out what it was.


B / Y Readers may well be very good, if not disdain. The main thing that lucky with the battery.

Once I got a Kindle and restored unpacked his differences with the new found absolutely, well, except that barely noticeable creak of plastic on the back in the corner. In this case, the battery holds a charge, as in the new reading room.

thanks for answers! Write your reasoning, perhaps someone will be useful

live look Pocketbook 740 and the entire current line of devices
of Onyx I found only "My first book" and the previous model
KPW in 2018 has not yet found

intermediate outcomes:

1. Pocketbook much better assembled than did before (I have their device 2012).
But the Kindle seemed to me the best of materials and the touch (compare with its 7th generation).
Excluded from the candidates for purchase.

2. In the previous generation of devices and Onyx have backlash side buttons and assembly flaws "My first book".
It is a pity that you can not find Darwin 6 for comparison.

3. Looked at a few reviews and read about KPW 2018. He becomes the leading candidate for purchase with all its shortcomings.

Over the past 5-7 years, manufacturers have significantly tightened to the Kindle and in some ways even better.
But for me personally, the scales again leaning towards the Kindle, even though I was initially against this version.
